Today’s Market Summarised
It was a pretty eventful day for Nifty, to say the least. The index was thrown around both ways, by the bulls and bears. Luckily for traders, the trend was clear both. After opening at 13,187 with a gap-up, the index went flying up past 13,200 and the all time-high. After taking resistance near 13,250, the index quickly fell over 100 points ahead of the RBI Monetary Policy Committee meeting. At around 1 pm, the index made a turnaround and jumped more than 200 points after PM Modi said that the vaccine is just few weeks away. The index closed near today’s fresh all-time high at 13,258, up 124 points or 0.95%
Bank Nifty had an amazing rally just after opening at 29,613 with a gap-up. The index went up but could not cross 30,000 level. The index fell sharply, along with Nifty, to take support near 29,500. But just after the announcement by the Prime Minister, the index jumped over 600 points to close at 30,052, up 603 points, or 2.05%
Nifty Private Bank rallied the most today, taking up Nifty Bank with it too! Every major sectoral index closed with profits today.
All European markets are currently trading with gains for the day. Asian markets are mostly closing in green too!

Markets Ahead
While RBI’s Monetary Policy Committee meeting failed to excite markets, what surely did was PM Modi’s announced. The Prime Minister has said that the vaccine will be available in ‘the next few weeks’. Banks can see huge bullishness, as they have been underperforming all other indices. Have a look at PVR for tomorrow. Also keep an eye out on leading banks, including SBI(who was up more than 3%).
Also, with IT sector far from its all-time high and banks being bullish, I feel there is a long way to go for Nifty. FIIs continue pumping in money to the Indian markets, and a rally in Reliance above 2,000 level can give the index the fuel it needs to possibly even reach 13,500 or more.
